Google Releases FCC Street View Report

The FCC has now finished its investigation of Google’s Street View, the company came under scrutiny when it was found to be collecting users data whilst taking photos with its Street View cars.

According to Google the collection of private data was ‘inadvertent’, and the report blames a single rogue engineer for the collection of users personal data, although the engineer apparently declined to speak to the FCC during their investigation.

Google continues to maintain its stance that any gathering of data was done inadvertently, and Google has also said that it had never authorized for any data to be collected.
